Yamaha PM5D V1 Digital Mixer Firmware 1.21 Description

This  package provides the necessary installation files of Yamaha PM5D V1 Digital Mixer Firmware version 1.21.

Fixes:

- When an MY16-AE card or MY16-TD card was inserted into PM5D, noise could have very occasionally appeared on input channels 9-16.
- When a set of MY16MADI64 cards were inserted into PM5D, these cards were wrongly recognized as MY8-AE cards. (These cards should be recognized as MY16-AT cards). Therefore, only signals from the first 8 channels of each card could be used, rather than all 16.

Installation steps:

1. Turn the PM5D on. The opening screen appears as usual and the UPLOAD MENU screen appears. On the left side the current firmware version of each PM5D CPU is shown and on the right side the corresponding firmware version transmitted from the memory card is shown. If the left and right firmware versions differ from each other, the corresponding UPLOADER SELECT button automatically turns on. Please note that when you try to update the PM5D-RH MAIN or LCD, the UPLOADER SELECT buttons for AD IN/STIN are not turned on since the AD IN/STIN versions are not shown. To update AD IN/STIN, first update MAIN and LCD.
2. Click the UPLOAD in the bottom center of the screen to start updating the corresponding CPU. The progress bar will appear indicating the progress of the update.
3. When the progress bar shows “100%” and the “Please Re-start!” message appears, turn the PM5D off and on again. The update of each CPU is complete if you do not need to update AD IN/STIN of the PM5D-RH.
4. After turning on the power to the PM5D-RH, follow step 2 and 3 in the UPLOAD MENU screen to update another CPU for which the UPLOADER SELECT buttons are on.

NOTE:

- If you are using the PM5D-RH and the AD IN/STIN versions are not shown, try erasing the PM5D firmware and updating AD IN/STIN again by following the steps below.
1. While holding down the [RECALL] button and the [SHIFT] button, turn the power to the PM5D-RH to display the UPLOAD MENU screen.
2. Select all AD IN/STIN firmware by clicking the SEL buttons at the left of “AD IN/STIN” in “CURRENT FIRMWARE,” then click the ERASE button.
3. Click the OK button to execute the operation. All AD IN/STIN firmware will be erased.
4. When all the firmware is erased, turn off the PM5D-RH, then while holding down the [RECALL] button and the [SHIFT] button, turn the power to the PM5D-RH again to call up the UPLOAD MENU screen. If the AD IN/STIN firmware is erased, all the +48V LEDs in the AD IN section on the top panel flash.
5. On the UPLOAD MENU screen, turn on all the AD IN/STIN UPLOADER SELECT buttons, then click the UPLOAD button. The selected AD IN/STIN will be updated and the progress bar will appear indicating the progress of the update. During the operation, the AD IN/STIN fields in CURRENT FIRMWARE/UPLOADER still remain blank (this is normal). Never attempt to turn off the power until the update is complete.
6. When the progress bar shows “100%” and a message “Please Re-start!” appears, turn the PM5D-RH off and on again.
7. Confirm that all the AD IN/STIN versions are shown in the PREFERENCE 2 screen for the UTILITY function.

About Digital Mixer Firmware:

Updating the mixer’s firmware version can add support for newly developed features (or improve existing ones), enhance audio quality and transition effects, resolve different problems such as those regarding various noises heard in certain situations, and many other related improvements.

However, before downloading this package, go to the unit’s system information and make sure that the currently installed firmware isn’t either newer or matches this release. Moreover, you should know that an update failure might seriously damage the mixer’s software, so it is vital that you are familiar with the installation steps.

As for applying this release, you must transfer the downloadable package (or its content) to the mixer via any available methods, and power up the unit through various key combinations in order to enter update mode (make sure you read the product’s user guide).

This said, if you consider installing this release and you’re positive you have all the knowledge you need for a successful upgrade, download the package, and apply it to your mixer. Check with our website constantly so that you don’t miss any update that can improve your device.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
